Abstract

This study examined the friendship skills for students with learning disabilities from the perspectives of their resource room teachers. Data were collected using a checklist of friendship skills for students with learning disabilities by 20 female teachers. A total of 140 students with learning disabilities were randomly selected from Karak city in the south of Jordan for this study. The findings indicated that friendship skills among students with learning disabilities were low. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the level of friendship skills among students with learning disabilities based on gender or grade.
